Something jarring about seeing Hillary Clinton and Tucker Carlson on the same speech program.

This is for a Saudi Real Estate conference starting tomorrow.

Voting NO on the DHS funding bill is the bare minimum.

Backing Kristi Noem’s impeachment is the bare minimum.

Holding law-breaking ICE agents legally accountable is the bare minimum.

ICE is beyond reform. Abolish it.

Had a dream last night that a tour company was offering Gen AI videos of clients enjoying vacation experiences before they traveled, as a form of advertising/upselling.

I got angry and refused to look at the videos, because even while asleep, I clearly have no time for generative slop.

It's been said by a whole lot of people, but it bears repeating: if ICE is willing to murder people on a livestream and lie about it, imagine what's going on at the concentration camps.

Someone was shot in a home invasion in my suburb and the city had to promptly put out: we are aware of the shooting, the suspects are in custody, it’s not ICE.

Which is not something I’ve seen before.

Alex Pretti was an ICU nurse serving veterans. He died trying to protect protestors being assaulted. A group of anonymous & masked men fired chemicals into his face, beat him, disarmed him, and shot him in broad daylight in front of witnesses. Then his government smeared him & defended his murder.

Imagine what’s happening in the camps.
Imagine how much they’d be lying about what happened without all the videos showing it from multiple angles.

Democrats can and must make it clear there will be trials and anyone even somewhat associated with ICE will face them. Maybe give a quit-your-job deadline on appeasement and give people 72 hours. I don't know. But currently the plan is to let them murder us in the street and get away with it.

ARE PEOPLE ALLOWED TO CARRY OR NOT. ARE WE ALLOWED TO PROTEST OR NOT.

These rights have always been "protected" with a BIG Ol' honkin asterisk depending on who you are.

So, hey, like...with all the S*scha Riley stuff, it's probably time for someone to start digging into the weird relationships that Mike Johnson, Clarence Thomas, and Matt Gaetz all have with their adopted "sons," yeah? That is a weird, weird pattern with Republican men. Just. saying.

This Wednesday, it's my episode on the first 3 silent Christmas Carol adaptations! One of them is completely lost, but there is a detailed scene-by-scene description, so I'll be talking about it.

It's so funny that they wrote a new song for the second half of Wicked just so it could get a Best Original Song nomination, and it lost out to a Diane Warren song from a Diane Warren documentary that no one has heard of.

I would like to know why democratic politicians consistently use the word “violence” to describe protestors actions against unprovoked attacks, and not “self-defense.”

I imagine No Other Choice got snubbed because voters assumed it was a “None of These Candidates” option
